aside Michael Cohen Shows Signs Of Preparing To Flip On His Former Boss President Trump

MICHAEL COHEN AND FAMILY

The republican President Donald J. Trump’s former long-time personal attorney/ fixer/ consigliere Michael Cohen has been demonstrating all the signs of preparing to flip against his former boss regarding the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe being led by the Special Counsel Robert Mueller III.

Most recently he has resigned from his fund-raising job with the Republican National Committee (RNC) where his resignation note included a pot shot at the president. He has just hired new attorneys. His in-laws are in the process of selling 3 Trump Tower properties at a value of over $10 million dollars, probably resulting from the president no longer paying his legal bills. He has let it be known that he feels abandoned by his old employer, a man he looked upon as family.

Michael Cohen is that president’s employee who had all of his work locations raided by the FBI on April 9, 2018, and it has been a downward experience for Mr. Cohen, ever since this event. If anyone has the goods on President Trump, he does.

“As the son of a Polish holocaust survivor, the images and sounds of this family separation policy is heart wrenching,” Cohen wrote in his letter to the RNC. “While I strongly support measures that will secure our porous borders, children should never be used as bargaining chips.”

“Elsewhere in his letter, Cohen offered the more obvious reason for his resignation: the investigation. “This important role requires the full time attention and dedication of each member,” he said. “Given the ongoing Mueller and [Southern District of New York] investigations, that simply is impossible for me to do.”

“Most people reading this will probably be surprised to hear that Cohen hadn’t already resigned his RNC post for this reason. The investigation is a perfectly plausible reason for him to withdraw and for the RNC to want him to withdraw.”

“The most interesting part of this is that Cohen didn’t stop there. Instead, he saw fit to offer an additional justification unrelated to his legal troubles — and he chose a disagreement with Trump.”

Perhaps he truly feels that strongly because of his family history, which would be totally understandable. But it’s also an extremely curious decision — not least because some other reports Wednesday from the Wall Street Journal and CNN indicate that he isn’t thrilled withhis treatment by Trump. He also just hired a new attorney. And it’s all a notable departure from a guy who previously pledged almost complete loyalty to Trump.

….non-existent “sources” and a drunk/drugged up loser who hates Michael, a fine person with a wonderful family. Michael is a businessman for his own account/lawyer who I have always liked & respected. Most people will flip if the Government lets them out of trouble, even if….

….it means lying or making up stories. Sorry, I don’t see Michael doing that despite the horrible Witch Hunt and the dishonest media!

But nobody says they are going to flip before they flip. At the least, Cohen may be sending up a trial balloon — a signal that his loyalty to Trump isn’t as absolute as it once was, and that perhaps Trump should do something to regain that loyalty (a pardon?). Cohen had to know that registering this policy difference would lead to this kind of speculation, even if he’s not necessarily committed to flipping.

Gronda, Cohen has learned the historical lesson that you will not stay on Trump’s good side for long. At some point, he will toss you in the trash. He does not count many friends as a result. Rudy may want to take heed, as if he becomes expendable, Trump will not be there for him. Keith

Michael Cohen could be the equivalent of President Nixon’s John Dean. If he is smart, he could salvage his reputation and his hide by doing the right thing, which isn’t continuing to cover for President Trump who has deserted him.

Rudy Giuliani had better start protecting his own hide which could be a bit exposed.

I read this article, and other similar ones, with a little bit of suspicion in my mind. Not so much toward the content, but instead because of the many rumors that have been floating around for the last several weeks that Cohen is not preparing to “flip”, but instead he already has done so. He has shown a reluctance to resign the position with the GOP because it was pretty well his last source of normalcy in a world that was caving in around him. I simply don’t think he did it of his own accord, nor does it seem the GOP was demanding he do so or it would have taken place shortly after his records were seized, instead he has done it at the insistence of Mr. Mueller. He has, IMO already started to provide information to Mueller and his team, which might go a long ways toward explaining the various diversions that have been utilized recently by the King and his Cartel in an attempt to take the eyes from the investigation. One thing that does concern me is that Rudy keeps bringing up an artificial deadline of July 4th for a decision on whether the King will testify. In Trumpaneeze language does that hint at a possible “Saturday night Massacre” being planned? A cornered rat will use any and all means to escape…

Michael Cohen has hired the attorney Guy Petrillo who used to be in charge of the criminal division in the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York from 2008- 2009 and he was the assistant US attorney in the office from 1990 through 1997. According to most attorneys in the know, this is a signal that Mr. Cohen is flipping.

Obviously, whether he has already flipped or not, hasn’t been confirmed but all the signs are there like his resigning his RNC job and his issuing a critical note regarding President Trump’s immigration policies.

Rudy Giuliani has been sent a clear signal that his own butt may be in legal jeopardy. He’d better be a bit more careful about what he says.
